Proper way to weigh rig? Scale update.
I am going to do some weighing at a scale and was wondering what is the best way to do this. I am trying to see if my WD system(Equalizer) is setup properly and also to find out my tongue weight. ...

Yes I will need to go back. In my fear of the lightning, hail and 50 mph wind I completely forgot to move the truck off the scale when I weighed unhitched. Also after I weighed just the truck this morning the assistant manager (Kwik Trip) recognised me from the previous day. During our conversation about the tornado that passed thru shortly after I left, he pointed out that the attendant the day before probably had measuremanents with me standing at the front of the truck instead of in it. So this could throw some of the numbers off.
Here are numbers from when I weighed it when I first picked it up 18 20 months ago. I have added one more washer since then.
TT and truck with WD on:
Steer Axle: 3300
Drive Axle: 3920
Trailer Axle: 7120
Gross: 14340
TT and Truck with NO WD:
Steer Axle: 2940
Drive Axle: 4420
Trailer Axle: 6980
Gross Weight: 14340
